Abstract
Hippo is a tumor suppressor pathway and is related to the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, organ size and tumorigenesis. In mammals, the Hippo pathway core is composed of 4 serine-threonine kinases: Mammalian Ste-20-like Kinase 1 and 2 (MST1 and MST2) and large suppressive tumor 1 and 2 (LATS1 and LATS2). When Hippo is active, the transcription co-activators YAP and TAZ are ph…
